Yingluk will take center stage with other regional leaders in Bali. The spotlight on her will drive him crazy so I wonder what he will do this time to upstage her.

"he told the UN secretary-general that both Thailand and Cambodia would follow the court's order."

When? It was supposed to be immediately. Been over two months now.

See which government, the PT-led or the ex. DEM-led government, is doing their job better? Once again, the winner is doing what the loser can't do.

'....Mr Surapong said it might be a result of the prime minister's visit.'

Who does he mean : Hun Sen's friend Thaksin or Yingluck ?

I'm sure he's smart enough to stay away. It will be deemed as a political ploy by the PPT and the red Shirts with their dubious Khmer rouge brother Hun Sen. No legitimacy will be given to this political game.
